painting on inactive facilities will be required, but probably not at the same
frequency as for active facilities. Interior painting will likely never be
required as long as a facility remains inactive.
Reactivation. Reactivation involves those actions necessary to

prepare an inactivated building for occupancy. Reactivation will require a
thorough clean-up and painting of the facility interior, as a minimum. It may
require considerably more efforts depending on the length of time the facility
has been inactive and the level of caretaker maintenance performed by the

activity.
depreserving or reinstalling equipment. For administrative or personnel
support facilities, reactivation will likely require the provision of new
furnishings as well as a thorough cleaning. A part of reactivation will be
inspection by fire department, preventive medicine, and safety personnel.
Closure. Closure involves shutting down and securing a facility

until the activity can demolish or transfer it to another agency. Closed
facilities receive virtually no inspection or maintenance. Once the decision
is made to close vice inactivate a facility, avoid any expenditure of
resources on the facility. Undertake only those tasks necessary to ensure
safety, provide security, and prevent damage to nearby facilities. Closure
can apply to one facility on an active base or to all facilities when the Navy
closes a whole base. Immediate action should be taken to excess the facility.
Responsibility
1.4
Major Claimant. The major claimant's responsibility in the
1.4.1
inactivation/closure/reactivation process is very similar to its role in
dealing with a fully operational shore activity. The major claimant should
establish the mission, provide policy direction, and provide the resources
(personnel and dollars) to support whatever inactivation, closure, or
activation actions are needed. Where whole bases are inactivated and
maintained in a caretaker status, the major claimant should make sure that an
appropriate management and maintenance organization remains in place and that
adequate caretaker status funds are provided. This will protect the Navy's
interest and investment in an activity in caretaker status.
1.4.2
Engineering Field Division (EFD). The NAVFAC EFD plays several
roles in the inactivation/closure/caretaker maintenance/reactivation process.
The EFD Real Estate Division is responsible for real estate matters involving:
a)
The termination of in-grants and out-grants (leases, licenses,
permits, etc.) that affect the activity.
b)
Internal screening of excess property.
Excessing of property to the General Services Administration
c)
(GsA).
